While I was installing seat post on new build this old cruddy seat post collar cracked! I didn't even have it tight yet... Piece of crud! It wasn't really 'nice' enough for my cheap ass bike anyway I couldn't find one locally that I liked enough to pay money for, so my dumb ass decided it would be a good idea to make one myself.



I'm not going to admit how long it took me to make this stupid thing. Started as a solid chunk of 2.750'' diameter round stock. Turned my inside diameters on the lathe and then roughed the shapes on the manual mill. Finished shaping on belt sander / bench grinder. Hit it with a quick buff and blam! Sounds quick n easy.... or so my thinking was. Prfffft. Then I turned a cap screw to kind of match. Like I said took wayyyyyy too long... and you can tell it wasn't made in a factory somewhere, but I kinda like that. It was fun
